> Hey
> I completely understand what you mean. It seems like the topamax makes me walk right by the things i would normally want, and makes me eat the things my body should have. I used to love ramen noodles, chips, peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, and anything sweet. Those foods were not my normal meals, but they were the things i would think about when i was hungry. But when i started topamax all i would want was salad, a veggie sub, fruit, toast, or vegetables. Its great though, i never thought i would be naturally going for those foods. I dont think ill be going for tofu anytime soon though! :)
I have noticed that my tastes seem to be changing. I was a Diet Coke drinker and now they all seem to taste flat. The doctor does have me increasing my dosage at 2 week intervals and I've got one more week at 75 mg's. I go back to see him after I've been on 100 mg's for 2 weeks. My appetite has decreased a little, but I haven't started craving healthy foods yet, unfortunately.
